ABOUT WEDNESDAY'S MATCHUP AT AUBURN

When these teams met last season in Knoxville, Tennessee held the Tigers to just 49 points while logging the 1,500th win in program history.
Tennessee is just 3-9 in its last dozen trips to Auburn, with the victories coming in 2001, 2003 and 2011.
Wednesday's game matches the highest and fourth-highest-scoring coaching staffs in America.

Tennessee's four full-time coaches scored 5,381 Division I points during their playing days. No other staff in the country scored more than that.
Auburn's coaches rank fourth among all Division I staffs with 4,373 college points to their credit.

McRAE AN SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE

Over the last five games, SEC Player of the Year candidate Jordan McRae may be the hottest player in America.
In those contests, he is shooting .535 from the field, .636 from 3-point range (21-for-33) and .840 at the foul line while averaging 26.8 points and 6.0 rebounds.
Among players from the six "major" conferences, McRae's 19.4 points in league games rank tied for fifth in the nation.
Extremely efficient offensively, McRae's 1.38 points per FG attempt in league play rank second among the SEC's top-four scorers.
In SEC play, he has two games with 30+ points, five games with 25+ points, eight games with 20+ points.

MARTIN THREE WINS SHY OF 100

In his fifth season as a head coach, Cuonzo Martin has 97 career victories to his credit.
Tennessee's 20th win of the season would also be Martin's 100th as a head coach.
